45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
45 Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God.
45 I will dwell among the people of Israel and will be their God.
45 I'll move in and live with the Israelites. I'll be their God.
45 I will dwell among the children of Israel and will be their God.
45 Then I will live among the people of Israel and be their God,
46 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the Lord their God.
46 They will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.
46 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.
46 They'll realize that I am their God who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I could live with them. I am God, your God.
46 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.
46 and they will know that I am the Lord their God. I am the one who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I could live among them. I am the Lord their God.
(Read Exodus 29:38-46)
A lamb was to be offered upon the altar every morning, and a lamb every evening. This typified the continual intercession which Christ ever lives to make for his church. Though he offered himself but once for all, that one offering thus becomes a continual offering. This also teaches us to offer to God the spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise every day, morning and evening. Our daily devotions are the most needful of our daily works, and the most pleasant of our daily comforts. Prayer-time must be kept up as duly as meal-time. Those starve their own souls, who keep not up constant attendance on the throne of grace; constancy in religion brings in the comfort of it.
11 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
11 I will put my dwelling place
11 I will make my dwelling
11 "I'll set up my residence in your neighborhood; I won't avoid or shun you;
11 I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you.
11 I will live among you, and I will not despise you.
(Read Leviticus 26:1-13)
This chapter contains a general enforcement of all the laws given by Moses; by promises of reward in case of obedience, on the one hand; and threatenings of punishment for disobedience, on the other. While Israel maintained a national regard to God's worship, sabbaths, and sanctuary, and did not turn aside to idolatry, the Lord engaged to continue to them temporal mercies and religious advantages. These great and precious promises, though they relate chiefly to the life which now is, were typical of the spiritual blessings made sure by the covenant of grace to all believers, through Christ. 1. Plenty and abundance of the fruits of the earth. Every good and perfect gift must be expected from above, from the Father of lights. 2. Peace under the Divine protection. Those dwell in safety, that dwell in God. 3. Victory and success in their wars. It is all one with the Lord to save by many or by few. 4. The increase of their people. The gospel church shall be fruitful. 5. The favour of God, which is the fountain of all Good. 6. Tokens of his presence in and by his ordinances. The way to have God's ordinances fixed among us, is to cleave closely to them. 7. The grace of the covenant. All covenant blessings are summed up in the covenant relation, I will be your God, and ye shall be my people; and they are all grounded upon their redemption. Having purchased them, God would own them, and never cast them off till they cast him off.
12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people.
12 And I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be my people.
12 I'll stroll through your streets. I'll be your God; you'll be my people.
12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.
12 I will walk among you; I will be your God, and you will be my people.
